All The Perfect Days with Michael Thompson

Join journalist and author Michael Thompson in conversation with Claudine Tinellis as they discuss his newest release, All the Perfect Days.

When a small town doctor is suddenly hit with the ability to know exactly how long his patients have left to live, down to the day, he considers it a gift, using it to help better the lives of his patients. But this gift comes with unexpected consequences and knowing the fate of others weighs heavily on a person — especially when it’s about the woman you love.

A charming, uplifting novel that asks: what would you do if you knew how long everyone around you had left to live?

Michael's first novel was How to be Remembered.
